Probably the most recognizable item in the uniform of the Bund Deutsche Madel or Jungmadel organizations was the Kletterjacke or Climbing Jacket. Made from a fawn coloured faux velour the jacket is cut in a stylish fashion, similar to how some military uniforms were cut at the time. This one is named to the original owner and is marked to the Bann from West Kurhessen.

This explains the sudden rash of HJ items that appear below. This is a summer uniform upper for the Hitler Youth that I put together over a few months. Why? Well to creep out visitors primarily. I do note those guys who have a ton of manikens in their collections and I can’t help wondering if they hold them on stormy nights. This half a headless German spratzen lives on top of the shelf, which is why it has taken me a year to get him down, disassembled, photog’d, reassembled and stuck back up. Creepy eh?
